Andray Blatche said money wouldn’t matter in his next contract. He meant it.
The center agreed to re-sign with the Nets on a one-year, $1.4 million deal, providing the team with a proven backup to Kevin Garnett and Brook Lopez.
Blatche’s return was critical, and it was just as important that he agreed to sign for the veteran’s minimum because it leaves the Nets with their mid-level exception to use on Kyle Korver or some other free-agent target.
